A054374 gives the discriminants of the Hermite polynomials in the conventional (physicists') normalization, and A002109 gives the discriminants of the Hermite polynomials in the (in my opinion more natural) probabilists' normalization. See refs Wikipedia and Szego eq. (6.71.7). - Alan Sokal, Mar 02 2012

FORMULA
a(n) = 2^(3*n*(n-1)/2) * Product_{k=1..n} k^k.
a(n) ~ A * 2^(3*n*(n-1)/2) * n^(n*(n+1)/2 + 1/12) / exp(n^2/4), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (see A074962). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 02 2023
